"Killer apps", carrier control ... MediaFLO, satalite radio, etc...

If handset providers had MediaFLO independent of carrier, could this work?

Know its Nokia's contention that its difficulties in U.S. in part relate to carriers controlling what handsets work on their networks.

Understand Verizon has pledged to "open" its network. Wonder if this leaves any room for devices to be dual or multi-mode.

If so, could see satellite radio and MediaFLO both being popular independent offerings for devices.

Just a little creative thinking ... obviously there are contractual and technical hurdles ... but have a feeling the "killer apps" are on the verge of being discovered.
